OWL'S HEAD — Even wondered what it was like to drive a car before cars ruled the road?

The Owls Head Transportation Museum will offer a Model T Driving Class today from 6 to 7:30 p.m., which will include an overview of the history of the Model T, how its engine and transmission operate followed by some limited hands-on instruction.

A second class - a training session - will be scheduled for those participants who would like to become volunteer Model T drivers at the museum.

To participate, you must be between 18 and 70 years old and have a valid driver's license. The class is free, but enrollment is limited. Call 594-4418 if you're interested.
